Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiving

I reckon this is more accurate – seems to be more similar moodiness to what I have

INTP result: http://similarminds.com/cgi-bin/pairmbword.pl

Introverted (I) 66.67% Extroverted (E) 33.33%
Intuitive (N) 58.33% Sensing (S) 41.67%
Thinking (T) 54.17% Feeling (F) 45.83%
Perceiving (P) 50% Judging (J) 50% ->THIS IS A TIE, could be INTJ instead

INTP descriptions:  http://typelogic.com/intp.html

‘Architect’ (INTJ is ‘Mastermind’/'Scientist’)

————

Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Perceiving

INFP result: http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes3.asp

Introverted Intuitive Feeling Perceiving
Strength of the preferences %
33 62 50 11

This says ‘feeling’ and ‘thinking’ are a tie – which could make me INTP as above.

You are:

  • moderately expressed introvert
  • distinctively expressed intuitive personality
  • moderately expressed feeling personality
  • slightly expressed perceiving personality

‘Healer’ or ‘Questor’

Introverted iNtuitive Feeling Judging

INFJ Result: http://www.personalitytest.net/cgi-bin/a.pl

‘Author’

————

All three (INTP, INTJ, INFP, INFJ) interestingly are a very low percentage of population.

Looks like I’m certainly an Introverted intuitive.

Although this is pretty dumb – I just did another one and got a totally different result and nearly all the values were 50/50% or 45/55%!

Derr – I’m smart but indecisive. I’m impatient but prefer time to research options. I think love is the most important thing in the world but sometimes doubt it’s existence and think that people are only driven by animal and conditioned logic. Etc etc.

Turmoil = fantasy = woo!

July 13, 2009 at 3:41 pm (General) (, )

Impulse-control is an especially resonant theme in the current era of conflicts and cutbacks.

“Periods of war, economic downturns and cultural turmoil all give rise to the production of vampire and fantasy fiction,”

said Thomas Garza, chair of the department of Slavic and Eurasian studies at the University of Texas at Austin, and a specialist in vampire lore.

“With a recession and war, the conflict has indeed seemed to turn inward, as we question our fiscal, political and moral status. ‘Have we been too excessive? Do we need to be more restrained?’ We seem once again to be questioning these very fundamental values.”
- From http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/02/fashion/02VAMPIRES.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1

So, still in with a chance then.
Also – read today a half-joking article asking why we don’t have more Gen Y writers crashing on about blow jobs and drugs.
Thoughts:
-They are blogging & uninterested in anything their friends don’t read.
-Old media is run by baby boomers.
-Whatever they write will follow them on the internet forever and they know it so going Gonzo is harder to justify.
-Good point – where is *our* Chuck Paulaniuk? Our Easton-Ellis?? I judge them as mine but they are really Gen X’s. So hmm. Maybe in with a chance there still too…

Attention / Distraction

June 1, 2009 at 11:02 am (General) ()

From New York mag:

http://nymag.com/news/features/56793/index2.html

“In Defense of Distraction – The benefits of distraction and overstimulation”

…” Gallagher became obsessed with the problem of attention five years ago, when she was diagnosed with advanced and aggressive breast cancer. She was devastated, naturally, but then realized, on her way out of the hospital, that even the cancer could be seen largely as a problem of focus—a terrifying, deadly, internal jackhammer. It made her realize, she says, that attention was “not just a latent ability, it was something you could marshal and use as a tool.” By the time she reached her subway station, Gallagher had come up with a strategy: She would make all the big pressing cancer-related decisions as quickly as possible, then, in order to maximize whatever time she had left, consciously shift her attention to more positive, productive things.”
